Why is Eva Longoria Saying Mitt Romney is ‘On the Wrong Side of Every Issue’?

Obama campaign national co-chair and Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria appeared on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports today, supposedly as an “expert” on Latino and women voters. Longoria is both Hispanic and female. Her pitch included fairly standard Obama campaign talking points surrounding the Affordable Care Act, but when host Andrea Mitchell brought the conversation around to the recent Puerto Rican Primary, which was won by Mitt Romney, Longoria delivered a broadside against Romney.
“Of all the candidates, Mitt Romney is probably the one on the wrong side of every issue pertaining to Latinos. Education, the economy, healthcare access, he’s campaigning with — er, he’s calling the anti-immigration law from Arizona a model law for the rest of the country,” Longoria said. “He’s campaigning with the author of it. That is polarizing to Latinos. He wants to veto the DREAM Act if he was in office. That is dangerous for our community. And Obama, for me, is the only one that understands that the success and the future of America is intricately tied to the success of the Hispanic community.”
Here‘s the video of Longoria’s remarks, courtesy of MSNBC:
Interestingly, despite trumpeting Romney’s supposedly “anti-immigrant” credentials, Longoria declined to stake out a position in favor of outright amnesty for illegal immigrants herself. “The misconception is that Latinos are for illegal immigration,” Longoria said. “That’s just not true.”
That last point is debatable. A recent poll showed that just under half of all Latino voters find the mere mention of the word “illegal” regarding someone’s immigrant status to be “offensive.” 35 percent, meanwhile, thought it was “accurate.”

Illegal is illegal is ILLEGAL…doesn’t matter WHICH country one is from.
Get the hell in line, like all the others, who have stood in line

You are trying to short cicruit a system, which is bound by the law of the land-
a slap in the face, to all those who followed immigration procedure.
Instead of forcing your “Dream Act” on America-
you should be encouraging & enforcing your Latinos to obey the law
& act through the proper channels.
This is all a dirty Dem grab for votes, nothing more !
She’s squawking about attacks on women & attacks on Latinos.
Listen Missy, you might allow yourself, to be used,
but intelligent & responsible women & Latinos
don’t want to be used for your Commie-in-Chief’s re-election grab.
He’s a big, gigantic, stinking FAILURE !
The ONLY attacks are coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
and Lil’ Eva, here, is complicit.

Posted on March 27, 2012 at 12:38pmIf she wants to comment on acting or Hollywood then I might care what she has to say. If she wants to comment on illegal immigration I don’t think simply being hispanic qualifies her. A master’s degree in ecomonics (to discuss how illegal immigration affects our economy), a law degree with experience in immigration law, I’d even consider a masters degree in history if she studied connected topics… does she have any relevant education or experience to give her opinion any credibility? If so, I haven’t heard it. And, therefore, I don’t give her opinion any weight.
She has every right to say “almost” whatever she likes (because she’s not a conservative talk radio host). What boggles my mind is that anyone pays any attention. In general, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a group more disconnected from reality than hollywood actors/producers/etc.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 6:59amWhat are her qualifications for getting involved in politics? She is pretty, talented and rich but since when are those the qualifications for critisizing Romney or any other candidate.
Her opinions are just that, they are typical liberal thinking. Why is AZs law bad? Other states have passed laws just as, and in some cases more restrictive, AZ was just the first. Of course AG Holdup has filed suits against all of them. The DOJ is so busy filing law suits against the states that they don’t have time for criminals. They could barely fit in Fast and Furious much less prosecute any wrong doers,

At least Mitt’s father came here legally from Mexico. You know, the way it was done before Democrats realized they could use ignorant illegal immigrants who can’t read or write English to vote and win them elections. It’s you who are on the wrong side of the issue little Evita. Lost cause, but she’ll keep getting gigs, so long as she tows the liberal line.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:55pmWhoa there, hoss. I’ve never accused our boys of bullying anyone. Only the politicians who lie to them. I’ve always been an advocate for our troops. The reason I support Paul and no other is because the oath we took to defend the Constitution didn’t come with an expiration date and I believe our guys are over extended and fatigued. The politicians have them empire building instead of defending our country. Furthermore didn’t you hear Penetta basically tell congress they work for the international community now? Wouldn’t that have pissed you off when you served? Every candidate has supporters that are jerks. I may fit that bill, but I’d never dis my own.

Sorry Eva, but being a gorgeous latina does not necessarily mean that you have any wisdom at all to offer us on this issue. I think all it means is that you can easily attract the attention of the media if you want to talk.

“Republicans, I think to our credit have sort of morphed away from the Goldwater idea that the government just needs to be smaller, it needs to do less, it needs to be doing nothing except what its core functions are, to a party by and large that says look, we need to restructure the way we do programs or the way the government functions to actually create the kind of incentives or create the kind of help and programs that give that authority… I mean power to solve these problems to folks closer to people or to the family or to the individual themselves.”

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 9:25pmrick santorum relates his political philosophy to compassionate conservatism (ie gw bush)-
“I suspect some will dismiss my ideas as just an extended version of ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Some will reject what I have said as a kind of ‘big government conservatism.’ Some will say that what I’ve tried to argue isn’t conservatism at all. But I believe what I’ve been presenting is the genuine conservatism our Founders envisioned. One that fosters the opportunity for all Americans to live as we are called to live, in selfless families that contribute to the general welfare, the common good.”
